New Glass Ceramics for Hard Disk Substrates with Improved Surface Flatness

  • 발행 : 1999.12.01

초록

New glass ceramics were investigated for the application as substrates to be used in hard disk devices. The glass system to precipitate lithium di-silicate was studied so as to optimize the composition to realize very high surface flatness. The addition of small amount of several metal oxides with high valences had very drastic effects on the microstructure, because they played a role of crystallization agents, and consequently it determined surface flatness even after the polishing process. The possible mechanism changes of crystal growth due to the addition of metal oxides were discussed in relation to the final micro-texture development. The glass ceramics with very high surface flatness(Ra=7.1 $\AA$) was obtained by the addition of the mixture of $P-2O_5 \;and \;MoO_3$ as crystallization agents.
